Origins of the Modern Chinese State pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
What is “Chinese” about China’s modern state? This book proposes that the state we see today has developed over the past two centuries largely as a response to internal challenges emerging from the late empire. Well before the Opium War, Chinese confronted such constitutional questions as: How does the scope of political participation affect state power? How is the state to secure a share of society’s wealth? In response to the changing demands of the age, this agenda has been expressed in changing language. Yet, because the underlying pattern remains recognizable, the modernization of the state in response to foreign aggression can be studied in longer perspective.
The author offers three concrete studies to illustrate the constitutional agenda in action: how the early nineteenth-century scholar-activist Wei Yuan confronted the relation between broadened political participation and authoritarian state power; how the reformist proposals of the influential scholar Feng Guifen were received by mainstream bureaucrats during the 1898 reform movement; and how fiscal problems of the late empire formed a backdrop to agricultural collectivization in the 1950s. In each case, the author presents the “modern” constitutional solution as only the most recent answer to old Chinese questions. The book concludes by describing the transformation of the constitutional agenda over the course of the modern period.
Philip A. Kuhn is Francis Lee Higginson Professor of History at Harvard University. His most recent book is Soulstealers: The Chinese Sorcery Scare of 1768, winner of the Joseph Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies.
现代中国的起源
评分The key concept is the constitutional agenda,which consist of: a set of concerns about the legitimate ordering of public,a will to grapple.
评分尽管有些概念翻译显有才气,但有些发挥过了当。分明就只有administration,能在多次翻个“政府机制”出来
评分谁应该参与制定国家政策?如何减少政治竞争对公共利益的负面影响?如何平衡国家税收和地方、个人收入?清朝可说是亡于对这三个问题的处理不力。这些问题是所有国家都要面对的,美国国父们曾经和晚清士族有过同样的顾虑,却选择了不同的道路。本书即从历史和文化角度介绍了中国所做的选择的原因,也就是现代中国国家体制的来源。内容很有启发性,而篇幅并不长,任何人如果想更好地理解现代中国,都应该读读本书。中文版译为《中国现代国家的起源》,大陆版可能有删节。
评分強調從中國內部的脈絡觀察近代史
十三哥: 好久不见,听说你结婚了,我很伤心。我永远都不会忘记上学那几年,我们仨去畅畅书店、去万泉河畔、去野草博雅堂、去潘家园、去中华书局淘书,回来后在旧书的尘埃里,在北区食堂三楼,每人吃一份牛肉炒饭,就能喝掉许多瓶啤酒,聊天,互相吹捧和贬损,再抱着书,...
评分孔飞力的这本小书,不过100多页,是基于他1994年在法兰西学院所作的一系列讲座,也是他大半辈子学术探索的一个总结。他的第一本书《中华帝国晚期的叛乱及其敌人》(初版于1970年)讨论了太平天国时期地方社会如何军事化,湘军如何组织起团练并最终击败同样由平民组成的太平军,...
评分译者导言 1.正是由于危机根源所包含的超越中国帝制时代的性质,这又成为中国走向现代国家的历史起始点。 2.具有合法性的公共利益是否存在?它同现代国家的构建又有何种关系?它对国家与地方社会利益之间合法性边界的界定又会产生怎样的影响? 3.就“现代国家”构建而言,这种共...
评分这篇书评重在阐释作者本身的意思,不重发散和评论。 #### 导论 “这些政治活动家们涉及中国内部的一种持续存在的”根本性议程“或”建制议程“(constitutional agenda )——正是这一议程,将中国帝制晚期的历史与现代的历史联接到了一起。在这里,所谓‘根本性’问题,指...
评分读导论,一上来就给中国现代国家的形成的“中国的过程”,“根本性议程”等高深的提法给震慑了。作者政治学术语层出不穷,天马行空,论及“根本性议程”所谓三协调、三难题,让我如堕云雾、雾里看花,似又确有启发,总之笔记记了,觉也睡了。 读了第一章,若有小悟。魏源的身...
